There was a tense hush inside the Kibera Law Courts on Tuesday as the man, Kithuka Kimunyi, accused of spearing a General Service Unit (GSU) officer to death at the State House gate, was led into the courtroom.

The 56-year-old Kithuka Kimunyi cut a frail and unsettling figure.

He wore a faded white hoodie, its sleeves hanging loosely over trembling hands, and creased brown trousers that brushed against his bare leg.

On one foot, he had a sock, and the other completely bare, missing both a sock and shoe.

Two security officers flanked him, gripping his arms tightly as he limped forward, one painful step after another.

He leaned heavily on one side, his face contorted in discomfort, as he was escorted from a waiting vehicle into the courtroom.

His eyes darted briefly across the room before he lowered them to the floor, avoiding the gaze of those watching.

The suspect, Kithuka Kimunyi, was arrested after the Monday morning attack that left a GSU officer dead outside the State House gate along Dennis Pritt Road, Nairobi.

Investigations into the motive behind the killing are still ongoing.
